Deep Distance
LONG DISTANCE POISON - Astro Topoi LP
$33.95
Limited to 300 copies.
Highly recommended.
Astro Topoi opens with the long form work 'Ausunya,' a shifting space that slowly mutates from layering drones to spectral howls to heavy waters and finally rhythmic minimalisms. Side B begins with the raw drones of 'Liminal Diamond' giving way to a weirdo blues scape that transform into blissful and shimmering horizons before reducing down to essential funk. The keystone and third song, 'Blue Umbra,' plays with different forms of random in order to create simulated forms of pop that inevitably come undone before imploding into krauty, medieval modalities. Astro Topoi is cosmic music without any preconceived notion as to what the cosmos is, or whether or not it even exists. Space music without the idea of space. Each song is the expression of the unpredictable play of Nathan Cearley's modular synthesizers, Erica Bradbury's analog keyboards, and a variety of broken old analog equipment including an old Arp Omni, Moog Satellite, Opus 3 and Mini.
